Campomaggi
Italy
The choice made by Marco Campomaggi in 1983 was a precise one: to create objects that last over time and tell a unique, personal story.
Campomaggi bags do not wear out over the course of a season. They are objects designed to be passed down, from parents to children, acquiring value over the years.
A lifestyle that leads back to a return to basics, to dreams pursued with constancy and sacrifice, in search of a personal taste, to a luxury that is intimate and not ostentatious in which excellence, raw material, and creativity intertwine to create authentic beauty.
The fabrics are soft and feel good against the skin, and are of a quality that enhances the experience of the day. Simple, sophisticated and gorgeous. Most of the shades are reflective of the beauty of what is found in nature. They all work together, and with many other staple pieces held by everyone such as jeans, boots, t-shirts, etc. The colors soft and found in nature, and the raw fabrics such as linens, cottons, wools, velvets, organdy and cashmere add a touch of decadence.
Andrine, who created “Les Ours” several years ago because, keen on decoration, atmosphere, flea market, fabrics, … she decided to use all her beautiful ideas.
Les Ours is the desire to evoke a mixture of carefree and well-being. Between romanticism and realism, a style drawn from the influences of yesteryear. Tirelessly attached to the bohemian chic side. Choices of soft and natural materials. Powdery colors, printed small checks and small Liberty flowers, plain or large scratched and warm checks. Everyone experiences bohemianism according to their ideal!
Campomaggi handbags are made using a particular manufacturing process that involves producing the articles using fine quality 100% Italian full grain natural cowhide, of indisputable quality and resistant to time and treatments.
All the work necessary to complete a Campomaggi bag to the highest standards of workmanship is rigorously carried out by hand, since it is the human ingredient that makes each object unique, original and not standardised.
Once the model has been built, the bag is subjected to the ancient vegetable tanning technique, a completely natural manufacturing process that uses the tannins contained in wood and vegetables, taken from trees such as the mimosa, chestnut, quebracho and oak.
The vegetable tanned leather absorbs the traces of experience. It ages but does not deteriorate. It is precisely the unique changes that occur over time and with use that testify to the natural nature of the product. The colours of the tannins bring intense tones and multiple shades to the leather, and over time and with use these tend to re-emerge on the surface.
